The bracelet is made of stainless steel, but is also available as a Rolesor variant in a combination of yellow gold and stainless steel.
The timeless, frill-free design without diamonds and other ornamental decorations looks particularly elegant in its simplicity. It is produced in the classic Rolex style with three hands. In terms of functionality the ladies' watch follows the series on which it is based. The lettering "Oyster Perpetual", which is printed to each model directly under the attached iconic Rolex logo, guarantees for water and dust density as well as an automatic movement.

So the noble watch impresses even on very narrow wrists and never appears obtrusive. Unlike the Datejust, it does not carry a date window and remains faithful to the restrained, sporty perpetual design.
The Lady Oyster Perpetual combines the best attributes of the famous ladies' watch with those of the functional classic. The perfect wristwatch for style-conscious, elegant women, which is also popular with newcomers due to its affordable price.

The story of the Rolex Lady Oyster Perpetual

In 1926 the world's first waterproof watch was introduced: the Rolex Oyster. The next historic milestone was not long in coming. In 1931, Rolex applied for a patent for a permanent automatic winding system. Just two years later, the first waterproof automatic watch, the Oyster Perpetual, was launched. This was when the time of hand-winding turned into a thing from the past: By means of a hammer automatic, the new Rolex movement winds itself through the movement of the wrist. Today this function can be found in every automatic watch. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual is not only a classic, but also a revolutionary among wristwatches.

Public eye grabbed the Oyster Perpetual shortly after their appearance with a daredevil flight expedition: It flew over the Mount Everest on the wrists of a group of pilots - a maneuver, which was considered impossible until then.
With its innovative technology and sleek, elegant design, the Oyster Perpetual has always been popular. However, the sizes initially established in the market were not suitable for petite wrists. Rolex responded to this circumstance with the Lady Oyster Perpetual, whose smallest copy only has a diameter of 26mm. With its wide range of different color and design variations, this model is extremely popular with many women.

Famous Rolex wearers

If one thinks of famous Rolex wearers, one immediately has icons like James Bond and Paul Newman in mind. But even in the ladies' world, the luxury brand is extremely popular. The Lady-Datejust, for example, can be found on the wrists of superstars like Rihanna or Jennifer Garner, but also athletes like Ana Ivanovic and Zheng Jie are avid Rolex wearers. They are in good company: It-Girl Kim Kardashian has been photographed several times with Rolex and the actresses Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston roam around privately with watches of the luxury brand.
The wide range of Rolex models has something for everyone: sporty, elegant, eye-catching or plain, every women will definitely find something here.
